Life as a carbon-based life form; a journey of building on success and learning from mistakes.

Sydney Mardi Gras 2004

26th annual Gay and Lesbian parade. Despite the rain many people manage to turn up. I am one of those who didnt turn up, I didnt want to get a wet t-shirt.

The rain really spoilt the fun, I had plan to go to Sydney Olympic Park on Sunday to join other Sydnerysiders for Clean Up Australia Day - was cancelled because the ground was too wet.

Solitude is comfort

This morning I decided to go out for a walk at the Sydney Olympic Park. Wanting to be alone for awhile. Away from my daily world. Where is so much uncertainty and fear. My hope for future can sometimes seem obscure and dark. Just want to be alone for awhile.

Out of sight is really out of mind. Havent got time to socialise lately, mainly tided up with work.

Seeing the girl name Maria again tonight, she still giving me the cold shoulder. I probably shouldn't tell her that I dreamed of you last night.

And Girl 1.. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do or how I'm suppose to feel.

Planet Sedna

It's amazing to see how us human had conquer the universe in the last few decades. Already we have telescope looking at planets 13 billion kilometers away from Earth. Space missions and satelite launch into space almost daily, there are so many interesting things going on around the world, ashame I dont have time to appreciate them all.

I believe space-shuttle-bus will be available in my children's generation. So they can have their little school excursion trip to the moon.

And I believe life is out there..

I'm gonna miss my Uni

Caught the train to Uni, it used to be crowed, now the seats are all but empty. Sitting under the shade of a tree having lunch, like the old days and the Carslaw's roof-top where I hang out during summer.

Study friends, now went their own separate ways, finding our own happiness. We all have something in common though, we hate exams. Such bitter sweet memories..

Kurringai National Park/Great Mackerel Beach

"You must think I'm crazy"

Driving Girl 1 home from work today. She said you must think I'm crazy. She continue asking me questions about life, she explains to me how there's a lonely man twice her age interested in her.

I feel uncomforable about the conversation, but after 10 minutes into the conversation things begins to make some sense. She can confide in me because I've always been there for her. So I said to her, to follow where happiness takes you. Being like everyone probably wont make you happy. She smile and we both understand each others.

She reminds me of a character in the film Three Seasons (1999), about a girl who were trapped by circumstance, society and female idealism. Struggling against a fate that is too strong for her.

Whatever happens I will continue to be there for her.

Work colleagues

These are the inspirational people I spent most of my days with, we all shared a common vision for the company. The problem is I'm seeing them more than my own family so I had to get along with them whether I like it or not.

Bra and things

Saturday. Party at Anh Nghia's house. Hennissy and weeds makes the night younger.

Sunday is Girl 1's day. Its been a long time since we last went out. She had enrolled in an aerobic class, so I'm taking her out to buy some bra and things. Bought her a shaver, for her to shave her legs and things.
